If you look through the top searched items for any stadium,
things like addresses and parking information always come up. The Minnesota
Wild play at the beautiful XcelEnergyCenter
in St. Paul – stop
searching because here is what you need to know:

XcelEnergyCenter
Address:

199 West
Kellogg Boulevard

Saint Paul,
MN55102

XcelEnergyCenter
Parking:

There are 2 ramps directly connected to the Xcel:
RiverCentre and Kellogg:

RiverCentre Ramp – 150
W. Kellogg Boulevard, Saint
Paul, MN55102

Kellogg Ramp – 129
W. Kellogg Boulevard, Saint
Paul, MN55102

For Wild games, you often need pre-purchased passes to park
in these lots. You can buy affordable parking passes from local ticket seller
Ticket King to many Wild games.

I am wondering if anyone has made the trip a few hours south
to see the Minnesota Iowa Wild play at Wells Fargo Arena Des Moines???

I was a huge supporter of moving the AHL development team to
Iowa and to changing the team name and color to more closely resemble the NHL
Minnesota Wild team, but

I have not made the trip to see them. It is 100% on my to-do
list. I love hockey and although I don’t think of Iowa as a hockey hotbed, I think a quick
trip to see the Minnesota Wild affiliate team would be fun…especially on a $2
beer night!

The Wild have 3 goalies on the roster and I swear you need a
crystal ball to know who is going to start which game. I am not sure that is a
strategy of head coach Mike Yeo or just simply a matter of circumstance. My
personal hope is that Darcy Kuemper emerges as a strong healthy reliable goal
tender that we can count on for the season…or in my freakish dream world,
Jonathan Quick decides HE too wants to raise his family in Minnesota and requests a transfer (LOL!)

I talked to local ticket seller Ticket King (I keep seeing
Ticket King everywhere! They were big sponsors of TwinsDaily.com this year and
I swear they have ads on a million metro transit buses so I thought I would
reach out to them and give them a free shout out too!) about what the hottest
selling Minnesota Wild ticket is right
now. Any guesses?

Minnesota Wild vs. Winnipeg Jets on December
27th

I guess I am not super surprised, it’s a Saturday night
after Christmas and those Jets fans love to travel. Let’s make sure the
Minnesota Wild fans get Wild tickets in their stockings this year and we fill the Xcel
with WILD fans!
